Delap double helps Forest beat Manchester City 3-1 as Arsenal go six points clear
Nottingham Forest won at the City Ground for the first time this season, and City have now lost three league games in a row.
Liam Delap scored twice as Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City 3-1 at the City Ground on Saturday. The result leaves Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Forest went ahead in the sixth minute. Jair Cunha took the ball off Josko Gvardiol and ran through to score, the club's first home league goal of the season. Delap doubled the lead in the 18th minute, seizing on a loose ball and racing clear.
Rayan Cherki halved the deficit in the 52nd minute, but Forest scored again on the break in the 73rd. Morgan Gibbs-White set up Delap, whose shot went in off the post.
It is the first home win of the season for Oliver Glasner's side, and it lifts them out of the bottom three, pushing Manchester United into the relegation places.
City won their first seven league games of the season and have lost the three since. They stay second, six points behind Arsenal.
Arsenal won 1-0 against Hull City at the Emirates the same day. Hull held out until the second half, when Konstantinos Tzolakis saved from Noni Madueke and Martin Odegaard scored from the rebound.
